Yurii Anatoliiovych Malashko (Ukrainian: Юрій Анатолійович Малашко; born 1974 or 1975), also spelled Yurii, is a Ukrainian politician who served as the Governor of Zaporizhzhia Oblast from February 7, 2023, to February 2, 2024. Prior to this, he was the acting head of the Security Service of Ukraine's Anti-Terrorist Center.
In 2023, Malashko was appointed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to replace Oleksandr Starukh.
